I did the same thing. Opened the hood, locked the doors and waited for the UPS to come for 2 hours. Installed it immediately after I received it and took it out for a spin to test the new SSTT.
Guess I'll give it two more days before I make any conclusions.

Hey guys - is it worth pulling the trigger on the SSTT with the second version on its way? Will this be an upgrade? Just don't want to waste money on the first version because after reading all the good reviews it looks like i will be wanting version 2!
Jon - thanks for the quick replies. I will let you know shortly. Thanks. |

Add me to the list of happy sstt users.Got mine about a week ago ,have had it on and off three times just so I could compare for the 1 week return policy.Car seems blah without it,you won't send it back.
As a foot note it can be tricky getting the clip off but once you get a technique down ( for me it's the guitar pick but a heavy not the supplied medium) it only takes a minute.I also added a little dielectric silcone around the clips and it just pops out now.Personally I could'nt imagine all the hassle of messsing with the ECU or even taking a chance of messing things up but I guess to each his own. This thing works great is so easy to install and plenty of power for me,thanks Jeff!!!!! |

I did not have a code reader at the time, but they were read and cleared by ///Matt at his old dealership; and he verified that the codes were related to the t-map sensor (SSTT). Mt SSTT was installed and uninstalled by a eurobahn authorized dealer.

Well then I am sorry for your bad experience! Did you make contact with Jeff and get a replacement unit? It almost sounds like a faulty SSTT.

I sold the SSTT a week later to my friend, and it has been in his E93 ever since. No problem what-so-ever; he loves it! The only contact I had with Jeff was to complain that their dealer broke my tmap sensor clip when uninstalling the SSTT from my car and did not tell me. I found out about it the next time ///Matt was working on my car; he asked me if I knew that my t-map sensor was being held on my electrical tape. I haven't contacted the installer yet... Jeff if u are reading this, I could use some assistance, as I'm sure the owner is going to question the legitimacy of my claim, as it is nearly a year later now.

So now I am 100% confused and out of ideas...the SSTT was not faulty and there was not a problem with your TMAP. The installation is virtually impossible to mess up but that seems like the only remaining possibility. There must be some factor I am overlooking but the limits of my limited knowledge have been reached.

I get that! All I was trying to do is understand why since it is an unusual presentation. I think none of us wants to do something that harms our cars so if we can understand why your car acted differently we can try to avoid having the same problem. Thank you for patiently helping out!

Future SSTT owners, don't try to pry the clip up so much that you break it. Raise it "just enough" to where you can pull the harness apart with just a little pull-action.
I think you guys with the broken clips are putting too much into it when it is not necessary. If I can do it in 2 minutes, then that probably means that most of you should be able to do it in 1!!!
